Could refer to the surface shapes and features themselves, or a description. Exam questions: what is the approximate amount of elevation change (relief) between the highest (mt. How could this be: the crust has a lot of holes filled with oxygen gas, volcanoes suck oxygen into the earth"s interior, most of the crust is made up of solid silica tetrahedra, which look like this: Measured the shadows of monuments and compared them. *the surficial earth system - the hydrologic cycle transports water and heat. *iron is on the inside because it is denser. All types of atoms that exist that we know about. N = neutrons - in nucleus e- = electrons - circling around nucleus.
